OK, I really need to get to work, but couldn't let this pass:
Extreme Makeover: Prince Edition - March 20, 2006
Claiming that his $70,000-a-month tenant Prince undertook an extremely tacky makeover of his Los Angeles mansion, an NBA star recently sued the mercurial singer over the purple-hued alterations. In a January complaint, Carlos Boozer, a forward with the Utah Jazz, sued Prince/MPG Music over unauthorized work done on the 10-bedroom, 11-bath West Hollywood property, which is owned by the C Booz Multifamily I LLC. According to the lawsuit, Prince/MPG Music violated its eight-month lease by “painting the exterior of the [house] with purple striping, 'prince' symbol, and numbers 3121.”Prince's new album,
is scheduled for release tomorrow. Inside the home, among other renovations, a purple monogrammed carpet was installed in the master bedroom and plumbing and piping was added in the downstairs bedroom “for water transfer for beauty salon chairs.”
Of course, Booozer expected to be traded to the Lakers/Clippers over the offseason, so purchased a house in LA instead of in the world-class city, Salt Lake City. According to Dave Chappelle, Prince is a bad-ass hoops star. I wonder if this is why Boozer took so long recovering from injury - getting schooled by Prince?
